the song Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson from the Antichrist Superstar

(their 3rd) album.

Tabbed by David Lambert (FLambert999@msn.com)

Ok, here's the really cool new Marilyn Manson song.

You gotta tune your guitar in Drop-D, and have a big distortion crunch, I

think overdrive sounds cooler but if it crunches, it's all good.

Intro

|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|

|--0-6-0-6-0--0-6-0-6-0--0-3-0--|

Bridges ("there's no time to dicriminate") w/ slight delay effect

|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|-------6----5----4--|
|--0----6----5----4--|
|--0----4----3----2--|
|--0-----------------|

these are the actual chords played by Twiggy, but it sounds a whole lot better

if you play the bassline, which goes like this...

|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|--0-----------------|
|-------4----3----2--|
|--------------------|

For the second verse the bass plays the same thing as the first verse, Low

D|--0-6-0-6-0--0-6-0-6-0--0-3-0--|.  The guitar plays this rif over the
|--0-3-0--| part:
|-------------|
|-------------|
|-------------|
|--X-X-X-3-0--|
|--X-X-X-3-0--|
|--X-X-X-3-0--|

At the very end, this riff is played instead of the main riff:

|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--0-6-0-6-0--0-6-0-6-0-6-5-4-0--|
|--0-6-0-6-0--0-6-0-6-0-6-5-4-0--|
|--0-6-0-6-0--0-6-0-6-0-6-5-4-0--|

thank you 4 your time.

Once you know this you can play basically the whole song

The other parts are just palm-muted variations of above.

The only part I don't know is during the pre-chorus.("There's no time to

discriminate...")That part seems to have a very quiet backwards guitar line

on it, but it's so subtle you could probably omit it or use a synth instead.
